Presentation of the feature: https://piefed.social/post/667045
Example of successful migration: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45876492
Our next step would be to give this feature a try. What would basically happen is that
- we would lock our community to prevent integrity issue during the migration
- https://piefed.social/c/casualconversation@lemm.ee would become https://piefed.social/c/casualconversation , with all the existing posts and comments
- you all would subscribe to the new !casualconversation@piefed.social , and then continue as usual
Should the migration not work, we would still be able to use the current community, and then manually migrate elsewhere.
The objective of this post is to address any questions or issues before we move forward. We are probably going to leave it open for 48 hours, and then reassess based on the community feedback.
I am debating getting another account in kbin.earth or piedfed.social. Its always good to try out different instances.
I’d say just try it, it’s only a few minutes of your time, and if you don’t like it you can delete the accounts.
